Front and rear rack and basket setups
I'm putting together a clubman style bike for my gf, and would love to see your rack/basket setups for inspiration.
The fork has eyelets for a front rack or basket. The frame unfortunately does not have any eyelets, so I will either have to mount the rear rack on the axle or figure something else out.
Thanks ahead for any replies.

No help from me I'm afraid, I strap a plastic Coca-Cola crate to the back rack that came with the Free Spirit. I'm that close to looking like the homeless. Suits my daily commute tho'.
Good luck on your search, 3ss

That is a sharp looking competition! Is that a wald basket on top of a blackburn front rack? Cool to see the detail shot of it mounted to the fender eyelets with the washers too.
Is the fork original? I have a similar era one with the script "Raleigh" on the downtube and my fork crown isn't chromed.
This is an awesome thread, I love seeing all of these rack/basket setups, they all look great. I'm stockpiling ideas for a light cargo/townie bike.

It is a Wald basket with no struts from Rivendell on an old Jim Blackburn rack.
The fork is not original. I picked it up at a swap and I don't know what it came off of.
The frame is a '73 and the "Raleigh" script is not correct for it. I used it because I like it better than the correct one.
